9/5/12 TO WIN BIG...najib has to hit on the steering of good governance......
Posted By: Abdullah Chek Sahamat - May 28, 2012Many times Najib sounded the good growth of our economy. Though the figure never hover beyond five (5) percent, he seem very confident that the overall national welbeing will be good. Merely judging from the statistic, definitely there will be an economic growth as long as our production and trading sectors are going smooth. Nonetheless, the main issue that Najib should be deeply concern is the trickling of such growth into the pocket of the general population.
Kerap kali terpampang di dada akhbar, Najib sering menyatakan betapa pertumbuhan ekonomi Negara adalah agak selesa. Pada saya, selagi sektor pengeluaran dan perdagangan antarabangsa kita berjalan baik, pastinya ekonomi kita akan terus berkembang. Namun apa yang harus Najib peduli hebat adalah berapakah dari pertumbuhan ini terzahir sebagai pendapatan sebenar rakyat kebanyakan.
(2) I would say the overall dissatisfaction of the people since Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to this day is wrt to the issue of sharing the economic cake. Too much cake being eaten by too small numbers of people. Worst, since Abdullah took over the leadership of the Nation, our economy have not expand the size of our economic cake. Basically we had nothing new to share. Doesn't matter what ever were the reasons given to justify the limited sharing of the cake; be it for efficiency, effectiveness, cost-saving, or whatever reason; the now end result is bubbling to the general public affordability to meet the rising cost of living. And very unfortunate, Abdullah had fished the Nation with goodies that were Counter Productive. Najib, is now bleeding to dance to the new Malaysians' ingrained taste: subsidies. Worst corruption is now a norm that Malaysians began to enjoy.
(2b) Masalah besar yang diwarisi Najib dari pentadbiran Abdullah Ahmad Badawi adalah ketidak cukupan agihan habuan. Habuan yang ada sering hanya dilahap oleh segelintir. Paling menyedihkan, sejak Abdullah mengambilalih tampuk kepimpinan Negara, penguncupan habuan terus menjadi. Tiada habuan baru yang terjana. Apapun alasan yang diberikan kenapa habuan ini hanya terserah kepada segelintir; kecekapan, keberkesanan, penjimatan, dsb; namun nan pasti kini, dari segi politik, Najib harus membayar harga yang tinggi untuk membujuk hati rakyat untuk bersamanya. Akhirnya, kita terjebak dalam kancah Pertumbuhan Membunuh kerana banyak dari wang Negara terpaksa dibazirkan untuk membeli hati rakyat lewat pelbagai subsidi (bantuan). Akibatnya, dana Negara menyusut hebat.
(3) Some times ago, Mustapha Muhammad had sounded that Malaysia must work for the Productive Growth. What is the meaning of Productive Growth, I have written on this few month back. But for ease of comprehension, what Productive Growth mean, in a very simple analogy is: When our economy grows, it must grow to bring real gain to our Nation and people, It is a growth generated by our true production effort..
(3b)Sedikit masa dahulu, Mustapha Muhammad menegaskan betapa Malaysia perlu menghambat Pertumbuhan Benar. Saya terdahulu telah menulis sedikit sebanyak mengenai perkara ini. Hakikatnya, Pertumbuhan Benar bermaksud, bila ekonomi Negara kembang, ianya semestinya memberikan manafaat langsung kepada rakyat dan Negara. Ianya adalah perkembangan ekonomi hasil usaha jati negara.
(4) I would say the present political war between Najib-Anwar is just like, the American War Monger Economy, when they have war with other nations, their economy grow because of the production of military necessities. But, war bring destruction, thus after the war, the economy will soon collapse. That is what happening to them now after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
(4b)Saya berkira, peperangan Najib-Anwar untuk memenangi hati rakyat, sama saja dengan Perang Amerika-Iraq-Afghanistan. Banyak wang dibelanja untuk menang perang. Namun selepas perang, kedua-dua ekonomi Amerika-Iraq-Afghanistan runtuh. Perang membawa kemusnahan. Kemusnahan membawa pembaziran. Perang politik Najib-Anwar umpamanya, hanya membazir wang Negara ke bidang-bidang yang tidak membawa Pertumbuhan Sebenar. Apa kemajuan yang boleh didapati dari mencetak dan menabur jutaan bendera dan poster politik dan atau mengadakan majlis-majlis bertemu rakyat yang besar-besar?.
(5) The Americans love international conflict. They believe, forever they can fish in the muddy water. Yet it is very much different with China. When the whole world is in crisis, China just focus to domestic affair. She used her Veto power at times when her interest is at stake. For instance, when the West really want to go after Iran, China played the friendly game with Iran. Both Razak and Najib went to China. But Razak learned not to dance to others music, while Najib love others music in the way he handle his problem.
(5b) Muhammad SAW telah berpesan, belajarlah sehingga ke China. Saat dunia dalam krisis, China mengambil sikap watch the burning from across the river. Dengan bijak China menggunakan kuasa Veto saat kepentingannnya tergugat. Ini dapat diperhatikan dalam krisis Barat-Iran. Namun apa yang saya lihat, biar Razak Husein telah ke China, lalu Najibpun menyusul sama, namum Razak bersikap bijak dengan tidak mudah menari ikut rentak orang lain, tetapi Najib berlenggang sumbang.
(6) During the regional and national communism political infiltration, Razak took the stand to build the confident of the Nation through Productive Growth. He worked hard to develop the Nation by providing all those that would enable the people to earn their living. He focused on the politic of development, as probably emulates by Taib Mahmud.
(6b) Dalam masa krisis serangan politik komunisma Razak bertindak menyemarakan harapan rakyat melalui gerakkan pembangunannya. Subsidi yang diberikan oleh Razak adalah berupa jalan, parit, pembukaan tanah, pembinaan segala sesuatu keperluan rakyat. Dia tidakpun melaung-laungkan segala handout yang hanya bersifat melepas batuk di tangga. Namun bila Najib berdepan dengan Anwar, dia gelabah menari ikut rentak politik Anwar. Pernah, Nik Aziz menegur Mahathir, kalau tak silap: Anwar ore hebat, Mahathir kena cerdik ngurus dio! Pendeknya, saat komunisma melanda Negara, Razak membina benteng rakyat dengan memperkasakan rakyat iaitu sekerasnya berusaha menghapuskan kepayahqan rakyat. Najib harus mengerti.
(7) To me, both Abdul Razak and Mahathir Mohammed had provided the great foundations needed to steer and push the fast economic development of the Nation. Razak through his semi-corporate agencies (FELDA, FELCRA, MARA, UDA, etc) to steer and push for the rural and industrial development, while Mahathir through the privatisation and GLCs, had given Malaysia the alternative and fortified strengths in speeding our development process. Thus for Najib, I would say he must have greater courage and determinantion in his undertaking to develop the Nation through the Corporate Steering strategy. Razak had developed a strong Rural Development Philosophy and Show Cases while Mahathir had drove the Nation crazy into the Corporate Wagon. What needed by Najib is to blend both the Nation Rural and Urban strengths into a package that would be his Big Bang to inspire and give hope for the Nation and the people.
(7b) Razak dan Mahathir telah memberikan teladan pengurusan ekonomi Negara dengan baik. Melalui agensi separa koprat seperti FELDA, FELCRA, UDA, MARA dsb, Razak mampu merombak cara hidup masyarakat luar bandar. Manakala, Mahathir lewat usaha-usaha pengswastaan dan GLC, telah berjaya melepaskan sebahagian tanggungjawap Kerajaan kepada pihak swasta dalam memenuhi sebahagian dari keperluan rakyat. Seharusnya, apa yang perlu dilakukan oleh Najib adalah mengabung dan memperbaiki kedua-dua strategi Razak dan Mahathir menjadi suatu strategi yang lebih cekap dan berkeasn dalam membela rakyat. Slogan sepertinya mainan Najib untuk bergelumang dengan kepayahan rakyat. Ianya tidak akan menjadi kerana rakyat mahu melihat dan menikmati buah kerjaan dari slogan semata-mata.
(8) Mahathir, while managing the Nation, he felt the pinch of the inert nature of the Civil Service. Though he depend so much on the Economic Planning Unit (EPU), Implementation and Coordination Unit (ICU), and Treasury as his controlling vehicle, with Mustapaha Muhammad sharp character, he also established a much bigger group of Advisor through the MTen, MAPEN etc. Basically, Mahathir mobilized all the experts in the Civil Service, Private Sector and Senior Experts who had retired but still having the brain will to serve as his Caucus of Advisor. We know he even get the advice of Bill Gates and Konichi Omahe. Privatisation and corporatization was mahathir greatest tool in spearing the fast development of the Nation and expanding the economic cake.
(8b) Semasa pentadbiran Mahathir, beliau kurang selesa dengan sikap lengai agensi-agensi Kerajaan. Namun dia bijak dalam menyatukan agensi-agensi utama sperti UPE, UPP dan Perbendaharaan, dan swasta di bawak bimbingan Mustapha Muhammad untuk membentuk kumpulan pemikir sperti Mten, MAPEN, dsb untuk mempercepatkan gerakkan pembangunan Negara. Hidmat nasihat Bill Gates dan Guru Pengurusan Perusahaan Jepun, Konichi Omahepun dia gabung untuk menasihatinya. Satu dari langkah ganas Mahathir adalah dengan mengkorperat atau menswastakan badan-badan Kerajaan seperti LLN, LPN, dsb, yang kini melahirkan banyak GLC seperti STMB, TNB, TV3, PLUS, dsb yang kemudiannya menyusun diri lalau berkembang dengan menggunakan dana bukan Kerajaan untuk memperluaskan khidmat mereka. Pokoknya, Mahathir membuka ruang kepada pengurusan badan-badan Kerajaan agar lebih cekap, bersaing dan berkermbang luas. Itulah caranya Mahathir memperluaskan Habuan Ekonomi Negara.
(9) But when Abdullah took over his leadership, the impatient young tugs surrounding Abdullah, short circuited the EPU, ICU and Treasury by Establishing Level Four Think Thanks whom were brilliant young highly reputable graduates. This group of advisors led Abdullah to the belief of True Corporate Governance. Development were subjected to pure accounting consideration, the concept of Government is a socio-economic entity becoming a loosing philosophy. Abdullah ambition to fast track the Nation development through these young brilliant but lacking wisdom, took the Nation into an expensive and bad experience for all. Level Four of the PM Office became the Club of the Greedy.
(9b) Abdullah cuba membina kekuatan dengan menuruti kehendak golongan muda berpelajaran baik untuk menasihati beliau dalam masa pentadbirannya. Anak-anak muda ini biar punya kepandaian dan semangat kerja yang tinggi, namum kecetekan pengalaman mengakibatkan mereka tidak mengerti mahunya rakyat. Akhirnya, golongan muda Abdullah menjadi bahan cemuhan Mahathir. Mereka sepertinya ingin mengkorporatkan seluruh Negara, dan itu bukanlah jalan terbaik dalam membangun Negara yang majmuk seperti Malaysia ini. Akhirnya mereka mengalah dalam keadaan Negara terpaksa menangggung akibat yang mahal harganya. Hakikatnya, golongan ini kemudian menjadi cicak hendak menelan naga.
(10) And now, Najib is hybriding both the pure civil service with the expert of the GLCs and Private sector. He called this Group as PEMANDU. The idea is great, but lots of fine tuning have to be done. Ignoring the socio-economic function of the Government is a very dangerous game. Abdullah got his toll by such an act. Russia, for instance realized their mistake of dancing to the American. Putin now is working hard to keep Russia intact and strong. Najib must also realize the Corporate Governance weaknesses or gaps that Mahathir had made. The GLCs under Mahathir had also deviated too much from serving the people. For instance, today STMB won't bother to provide fixed phone anymore since there is already lots of mobile phone services, but STMB also didn't work fast to provide the alternative choice for the general public. Equally bad, I could see FELCRA, FELDA, Tabung Haji, MARA, etc who suppose to take serious and dedicated effort to safeguard and capitalize the Malays assets, are now more concern about accounting consideration, all because those within these GLCs are the young that were born in the sliver plates. I would say, they work just to earn their salary, but not to fortified their community. We are now surrounded by a very social indifferent young.
(10b) Najib sebetulnya sangat bertuah. Razak telah meninggalkan RED Book buatnya untuk terus memenangi hati Melayu di luar bandar. Mahathir telah meletakkan asas dari segi prasarana dan soft wares iaitu GLCs dan beberapa gergasi swasta (eg Genting, IOI, Berjaya, Tradewinds, dsb)untuk dia terus gembeling dan selaraskan agar terus membantu untuk memacu pembangunan Negara. Namun, Najib harus sedar, kelemahan nyata Abdullah dan Mahathir, bila peranan sosio-ekonomi Kerajaan dikesampingkan. Namun, kita tidak boleh menjadi Negara Kebajikan sebagaimana China dan Russia terdahulunya. Kelemahan yang ada di Brunei dan Kuwait harus banyak menyedarkan kita. Juga kita tidak boleh menjadi Russia sedikit masa lampau yang mereng ke kapitalisma tulin sehingga menjadi bertuang mainan Amerika. Maka, Najib seharusnya dapat memerhati tajam akan GLC yang ada, tetapi kian menyimpang dari tanggungjawap asal sebagaimana Abdul Razak kehendaki. Saya tidak mempersoal akan perubahan cara, namun saya kesal atas sikap mereka kian menyingkir dari bergelumang bersama permasalahan rakyat.
(11) I believe Najib is facing financial difficulties. But, Malaysia is not a poor State. We are indeed rich except we didn't use or mobilize our wealth in the most cost-efficient way. Annually, we in deed lost tens of billion as counter productive subsidies. Worst, we might also lost tens of billion more by mere filtration. In the public sector, this filtration comes as corruption, yet among the GLCs and Private sector, the filtration is happening in the form of internal trading or brokering fees and even market speculation. Thus, in fact Najib greatest challenge is to put in place a Good Governance firstly in our Civil System, then the GLCs and thus the Private sector. Japan, German, Korea, and Switzerland probably the best example that we could study and adapt.
(11b) Saya percaya, Najib sedang menghadapi masalah kewangan yang hebat. Namun, hakikatnya, Malaysia bukanlah Negara miskin. Cuma, kekayaan kita tidak diuruskan dengan baik. Paling sayang saya kira, kita tidak melihat Hasil Cukai Pendapatan sebagai Hasil Zakat. Makanya, bila kita berbelanja, kita tiada sikap, berbelanja demi Jalan Allah dan untuk Allah. Banyak ketirisan berlaku. Dalam sektor Kerajaan, ketirisan berlaku dalam bentuk rasuah dan penyelewengan. Di sektor GLC dan swasta, ketirisan terjadi dalam bentuk dagangan dalaman, habuan orang tengah, dan sepekulasi pasaran. Makanya, cabaran dan saya percaya harapan penuh semua rakyat Malaysia adalah untuk Najib dengan pantas merumus dan tampak bekerja keras dalam membentuk dan melaksanakan Good Governance yang boleh memberikan harapan dan kenyataan buat seluruh rakyat Malaysia. Saya yakin Nik Aziz Nik Mat, Lee Lam Tye dan Karpal Sigh bokleh dilembutkan untuk sama bekerja kuat.
(12) The Big Bang that Najib, should have in his next election (PRU13) I would say, is how best he would Steer the Nation Good Governance. The GLCs and private corporation should be his tools for the economic cake expansion. The Civil Service should be his mechanism to regulate and provide strong socio-economic strategies and plans for the great wellbeing of the general population. And, I strongly believe, the Islamic Financial System is the tool to curtail all those "corrupted" practices.
(12b) Cahaya dan harapan Negara pada Najib khusus dalam dia menghadapi PRU13 nanti, saya yakin adalah, kehebatan dan keikhlasan dia dalam merangka dan memacu the Nation Good Governance. Jepun, German, Switzerland dan Korea mungkin contoh yang boleh kita kaji. daalm masa yang sama, GLC dan pihak swasta seharusnya menjadi alatan untuk dia bergerak pantas dalam membangunkan Negara. Agensi-agensi Kerajaan seharusnya terus bebas, teguh dan cekap sebagai Perancang, Pengubal dan Mengawal segala bentuk pembangunan dalam arus kepentingan semasa dan masa depan rakyat dan Negara. janganlah agensi-agensi Kerajaan dipinggirkan namun meraka tidak boleh terus lengai dan dunggu. Kini, yang menilai Najib, bukan lagi mereka yang lepas dari sekolah Jin Mata Satu Sekolah Atap Neng Yatimah, P Ramlee, Aziz Satar dan Sudin tetapi adalah para anak muda yang kembali dari seluruh pelusuk dunia dan mereka yang sudah puas bergelumang dengan banyak perkara tak betul dan kini mereka menjadi rakyat biasa yang cerdik, berpengalaman luas di mana di antara mereka adalah Mahathir Mohammed (Tun) dan Hassan Marican (Tan Sri) dan Ungku Aziz Ungku Omar.
(13) Saya yakin, Sistem Kewangan Islam Jati adalah cahaya dan harapan untuk Negara ini bersih, lurus dan diberkati. InsyaAllah. Najib dan Mahathir kena cepat melaksanakan, memperkukuh dan memperluas Sistem Kewangan Islam Jati di negara ini. Kita seharusnya berkerja kuat untuk menjadi Pusat Kewangan Islam seDunia. Saya yakin sedikit masa lagi, ASEAN dan Rantau Pasifik akan tercari-cari sumber Dana Baru untuk membangunkan ekonomi mereka.
